macgirl Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Which bootloader did you choose? Also you can reinstall the botloader only with the DVD, select nothing but the Darwin or EFI bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badxil Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 First i would like to thank's all the user of this board especially macgirl and sonotone for their work (I was totaly noob when i discover the hackintosh world) After reading and reading this board i learn enouth to get a near perfect leopard Dell M1330... But since today i can't get my Dell True Mobile 1390 card to work So here is my step by step tuto Bios A11 (I have activated all the option (AHCI - Cellular....) only the wifi switch is set to "None" First i install the wifi card on the WLAN slot and let the WWAN slot empty Then i install iatkos v1.0i r2 (10.5.1) with the efi (efi - stock kernel - stock acpi....) and nothing else (all the wireless fix don't work for me) After the install OS X doesnt recognize the 1390 card so i install : efi v8 => Kalyway combo update 10.5.2 with vanilla kernel 9.2.0 => Sound => Graphic Card (Nvidia 8400) Finaly i remove the 1390 card from WLAN slot and plug it in the WWAN slot Power up this baby and now the card is recognized as an airport card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 any of those should work, which are the fails? Did you started first time after the 10.5.3 update with "update -v" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Attack12 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 macgirl, What i did was bought retail Leopard install DVD and made an image of it, then restored it to a partition on my hard drive. I then installed PC_EFI v8 on the partition were the leopard install files are. I added dsmos.kext and AppleSMBios.kext to the Extensions folder. I had to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, all GMA3100 kexts and intergratedframebuffer.kext. After i did that i was able to boot into the Leopard Installer. I then installed Leopard to another Hard Drive. Once leopard was done installing, I added and deleted all the same kext's as i did for the Leopard installer partition, were the installer files are located.

M Y Awan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 @mac girl. yeah i did but it just wen away forever. nothing happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Mac_Attack12: I did something similar, I installed Leopard Retail on an External Disk with a real Mac, the I delete AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, installed dsmos.kext an other kexts (for the M1330 but those aren't need for boot) replaced AppleHDA.kext (also no need to boot) and it dind't boot, so I installed Chameleon as bootloader, I used the steps on the 1st post for "how to manually add the bootloader", but also it could be done with PC~Wiz's OSX Tools to add the bootloader. Since the retail installation does not install a bootloader for non Mac you need to do it separately, also iAtkos can install the bootloader only, I didn't try it with other DVD like Kalyway or Leo4All. M Y Awan: Something similar happened to me on my AMD rig, but booting with a 9.2 kernel did the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 New kext (still in beta, missing a few features) ACPIBattery.kext. To be used with vanilla AppleACPIPlatform and PowerManagement.bundle. Try it at own risk. www.superhai.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks, Superhai, you were very active So if I have the Vanilla ACPIPlatform and I installed AppleACPIPowerSource.kext inside the plugins directory I could get rid of it? EDIT: I deleted AppleACPIPowerSource, installed ACPIBattery. Battery status works fine with AC adapter attached, percentage and Time calculation are displayed. But on Battery it stays on (Calculating) on Time, Percentage is shown fine. EDIT2: Also I can't change between Energy profiles, "Better Battery Life" is selected by default. EDIT3: On shutdown a Kernel Panic appears with Battery only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Y Awan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 To All M1530 Owners who upgraded to 10.5.3 Please can anyone write step by step installation/update guide for 10.5.3 using iAtokos v2.0i and kalaway 10.5.3 i waisted hours for 10.5.3 and looks like its beyond of my capabilities to cope whit that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 But on Battery it stays on (Calculating) on Time, Percentage is shown fine.Also I can't change between Energy profiles, "Better Battery Life" is selected by default. On shutdown a Kernel Panic appears with Battery only. It is not finished yet, it don´t report average current which is needed for remaining time. (There are a few options that has to be calculated in software that Smart Batteries already have calculated in hardware. There are a few things more that i will add. But energy profiles I don´t know, there might be some more that is required than a battery kext. I will look at it, but I am not sure if that can be changed. If you have kernel panic please send it or post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Attack12 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thank you macgirl for replying. I did install chameleon EFI 1.0.11 manually. and i know it works. But what my question is why if hangs. It starts to boot ok. After it loads the NTFS driver that when things stop booting and hangs. it keps repeating "Jnl: unknown-dev: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5" After it repeats that about 12 times thats when it hangs.

crosbyla Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Sorry for the noob-ish question, but can anyone post a way to get the battery meter back after updating to 10.5.3? I've tried to reinstall with terminal, kext helper, and a package made by sonotone as well. Nothing works. Otherwise, everything else appears kosher. My hardware specs are in my signature, and I am running brazilmac vanilla install with sonotone's dell package 0.3.2 and pc efi v8. If anyone has had any luck please let me know what you did to get it to work. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilhood Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yay, finally got my M1530 setup with generated Display/Ethernet/HDEF Audio EFI strings Also managed to get GUID Leopard/Vista dual-booting fine by following this guide. Shame about the shutdown/restart problem and that the SigmaTel STAC9228 isn't guaranteed to always work unless you sleep/wake the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsh Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Does anyone have any of this stuff working on Vostro 1400/Inspiron 1420? I'm convinced half of it only works for the M1330. I cannot get my trackpad working right, I cannot get sleep to work right as has been suggested above, and I certainly can't get sound under 10.5.3. Not to mention speedstep. Does anyone with one of those laptops have this stuff working? Or is this thread only good for the M1330/M series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristian Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Personally, I think that when people say "This model doesn't work" is like saying "This Mazda6 doesn't work". What I'm saying is, though they are the same model, there are a lot of parts that can be different. I suggest you put in your signature what you have in your dell. I'm sure then other people with the same configuration could help you out. Just my two cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
